Netbackup not writing to 1 of 2 drives
Hi Guys, Experiencing a very weird problem and looking for some assistance with troubleshooting this issue. Recently completed a hardware refresh and upgrade with current environment on Cisco C220 M3, Windows Server 2016, Netbackup 8.0 (master/media) whichhas a Quantum scalar i500 tape library with 2 drives connected to it. Netbackup device configuration picks up the 2 drives and medium changer but can only write to 1 of the 2 drives.Jobs fails with error Error bptm (pid=6448) ioctl (MTREW) failed on media id 000044, drive index 1, The semaphore timeout period has expired. (121) (../bptm.c.7962) We have ruled out faulty media, replaced the tape drive, swapped tape drivesbut the issue follows the path. Drive diagnostics fails on the 2nd drive though I can see a tape being mounted to the drive. Just fails at passing any further commands to it. Both Quantum and Netbackup support are unable to identify the cause. Any ideas? Regards, Robert

Backup Exec Errors on HP Servers
I have recentely been experiencing a series of errors with Backupexec on my HP Proliant DL380 G5 Servers. The errors are almost exclusively related to backing up exchange to tape. I have found the problem to be solved by disabling the "HP WMI Storage Providers" service. The Error codewasE00084F9
